Molecular Imaging (MIX) is a peer-reviewed journal which focusses on the breadth of molecular imaging research from basic science to preclinical studies to human applications. Please see the Aims and Scope tab for further information.
This journal is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
Effective January 1, 2026, Molecular Imaging will transition from a fully Open Access model to a hybrid publishing model. While select articles will continue to be published Open Access, the majority of content will be available through institutional or individual subscriptions.
To continue accessing the full breadth of research published in Molecular Imaging, we encourage you to recommend the journal to your institution’s library. You can do so using our Library Recommendation link, by contacting your librarian directly, or emailing sales@liebertpub.com. Your support helps ensure that the journal remains a trusted resource for advancing scholarship in imaging & radiology.
